美国诗人艾米莉·狄金森的诗歌对死亡情有独钟,英国诗人约翰·邓恩也创作了大量以死亡为主题的诗歌。狄金森笔下的死亡是追随自然的脚步;而邓恩认为死亡是听从上帝的召唤。二者的诗作中都体现出对死亡的蔑视与焦虑,在相距近三百年的诗歌世界里,展开着跨越时空的灵魂对白。 American poet Emily Dickinson’s poetry is fond of death, the British poet John Dunn also created a large number of death-themed poetry. Dickinson’s death is following the footsteps of nature; and Dunn that death is to follow the call of God. Both poems reflect the contempt and anxiety of death. In the world of poetry nearly three hundred years apart, the soul dialogue over time and space is carried out.
